The guy in the Hoosier hat next to Rollie Beale in the photo is Donnie Harrell. He was the head wrench and is the current owner of the Rodeo Bar Special that Rollie won the USAC title with in 1973. Donnie won a Silver Crown title as well with Larry Rice.

SUPERDUKE,

Sounds like a cavalcade of auto racing veterans, champions, and legends for sure. Looking forward to seeing all of them again at the autograph table.

Do you keep in touch with Wally Pankratz? If so how is he doing?

Also, there were a few sprint car drivers I haven't seen or read much about recently. If you have any updates I would appreciate it - thanks.
Tom York
Wib Spalding
Jerry Blundy
Cy Fairchild
Larry "Buckwheat" Gates
Jack Ziegler

Have a good day...see you at the races
